Government Administration - Lyngby, , Denmark
The Novo Nordisk Foundation and the VILLUM FOUNDATION awards a total combined grant of DKK 184.3 million to the Danish Data Science Academy, DDSA, which will support and initiate new initiatives for Danish research institutions and tech companies. Primarily within training of experts and interdisciplinary collaboration, two crucial areas for Denmark to realize its potential within data science. Even though Denmark benefits from a high degree of digitization, good data sources, and strong tech companies, we train too few computer science experts to cover the future needs. At the same time knowledge, sharing, and cooperation in the Danish environment must be strengthened if Denmark is to compete with the leading regions in the world. Therefore, the Danish Data Science Academy aims to unite and strengthen the many national participants and stakeholders within the academic environment, health tech, and business community. The Danish Data Science Academy is the result of a long process that has involved researchers from across the country and is therefore strongly rooted in Denmark's data science community. The Academy will focus on strengthening data science as an independent discipline and on stimulating fruitful collaborations harnessing new digital technologies to benefit society in a broad sense. DDSA was established in 2021 with Managing Director Sofie Castella.
